Newbie question -- how to get Apache to pick up the latest version of perl?

[Chris Bucchere]

Please forgive the newbie question -- I've been searching but I'm not able to narrow my results because my search terms are too broad.

As I sure is the case with many folks out there, I have more than one version of perl on my linux box. In order to install some opensource software, I upgraded a bunch of perl modules using CPAN and they all went into my 5.8.8 installation. Unfortunately, Apache can't find them because it's stuck looking at the 5.8.0 and 5.8.5 installations, per the @INC path.

What do I need to do in order to get Apache to recognize and use the latest version of perl?

Thanks!
Chris
